Let's calculate your expected KCET 2025 rank based on:

• PCM board marks : 245 out of 300

Step-by-step Calculation:

1. PUC PCM Percentage :
   (245/300)×100=81.67%

2. KCET Percentage :
   (78/180)×100≈43.33%

3. KCET Final Weighted Average (50% PCM + 50% KCET):
   (81.67+43.33)/2=62.5%

Expected Rank:

With a weighted average of around 62.5% , your expected KCET rank will likely fall between 45,000 and 60,000 , based on previous years' trends.

What You Can Get at This Rank:

You may get:

• Core branches like Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Chemical in good colleges

• Computer Science, IT, AI in tier-2 or private colleges

• Possible admission in government-aided colleges in less competitive branches.

With 245 in PCM board exams and 78 marks in KCET, your rank is likely to be in the range of 35,000 to 45,000. This is an estimated rank based on a 50% weightage to each exam.
